TALLAHASSEE, FL – Attorney General Bill McCollum today issued the following statement in remembrance of September 11, 2001:

"Eight years ago today, America experienced an attack that forever changed our country and the way we view our national security. As we mark the anniversary of this tragic event, we remember that the American spirit perseveres through the darkest hour and shines in our proudest moments. We as a nation are stronger than we were eight years ago.

"Today, my thoughts remain with the families of the victims and the heroes of September 11, 2001, as well as with the men and women who continue to put country before self to fight to protect our country and our freedom. We must never forget the lives sacrificed on that horrific morning and every day since in the fight to spread freedom globally."
